Nowhere did you indicate we were supposed to provide help, only an answer.

For anyone else wondering…I emailed and asked if I make an order that is over $100, but I use a gift card that brings my order to under $100, if it still qualifies…and they responded that it does! Yay for not spending the Glowforge $50 Inventables code yet! Now I’ll get to buy even more goodies in Jan!

Where do we find our inventables gift card code?
This is the only thing that bothers me about this deal:
Do we have to apply the gift card towards an X-Carve? They talk about what applies towards earning the gift card, but not what it applies to.

That’s not what the blog entry says: http://blog.inventables.com/2017/12/earn-100-inventables-gift-card-this.html
Perhaps it’s just because you’re looking at the X-Carve page and that’s one thing you can use the gift card on?

According the Inventables FAQ, you can use the gift card on materials. Here is the link https://inventables.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2907311?b_id=9562&utm_source=All+subscribers&utm_campaign=81430cff7a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_12_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f89ffd2bc3-81430cff7a-198105113

Actually, technically the FAQ only says what purchases will qualify you for a gift card, not what what you can spend the gift card on. And the blog entry I linked to only listed “materials now, materials later” for X-Carve and Carvey owners, but it’s not clear whether that was a restriction or an idea of how it could work for you. So I can see why @Jules is worried.
Yup. I read what I wanted it to say. I remain hopeful, however, as I purchased $100 worth of materials and I have had a pretty long relationship with the company. If nothing else, I have added to my inventory of things waiting to be transformed by the Glowforge.

I’ll probably pick up some Delrin anyway for stamps and such, I guess I’m just overly distrustful sometimes. (Been burned a few too many times.)

I placed a $100 order with them within a few hours of the original post here. I received a package from them… containing a single piece of engravable aluminum. Everything else was backordered.
So, FYI, don’t order from these guys right now if you need something urgently.

I agree with @mhumphrey. I have an order arriving today…of about 1/4 of what I ordered, the rest is backordered. They also didn’t tell me until after it shipped. I’m glad it was an order of extras, and nothing I really needed for specific projects.
Just ordered some 2-color acrylic to take advantage of this deal. My GF is scheduled to be announced to me by Feb 23 (at the time of this writing), so even if they are backordered, I hope they’ll be back in stock by then. Thanks again for the heads-up!
Just made my order, Got an email saying that today is the last day for the 12 days of Christmas Sale. Went in and put in over $100 worth of supplies, we’ll see what actually can be shipped to me and what will be on backorder.

Just placed my $100+ order, too. Continue to build up my inventory of materials in anticipation of receiving my GF Pro in the next couple of weeks. And I will get more with the $100 giftcard that comes in January. So I should be set to forge ahead for a while!

I ordered some white on black 1/8" acrylic, and just got the notification that it is back ordered. It shows it will ship Jan 3, and since I don’t have my Glowforge yet, it should still arrive before my machine.
The black on white acrylic I ordered just shipped, so apparently, they’re stocked on that.
I ordered the 2-color acrylic at the advice of @jamesdhatch who noted that you can find single color acrylic many places, including amazon, but Inventables is one of the few sources you can find the two color stuff. I thought that was good advice.

Seems like I am one of the lucky ones. Everything I ordered this week (13 pieces) was shipped today.
I just got my shipping email. I ordered 15 things, and all but 3 are shipping out now. The 3 that are delayed have a 1/3 date on them.
I ordered 17 pieces and out of that that, 14 items are backordered. Seems like everyone jumped on that 100 gift card extravaganza.
